A last minute goal from Clara Mateo was enough to rescue a point for France and deny Ghana\u2019s Black Maiden victory in the ongoing FIFA U20 women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
France dominated the first half, and it wasn\u2019t a surprise when they took the lead through star player Delphine Cascarino in the 30th minute.<\/p>\n
Ghana equalized against the run of play, when Sandra Owusu-Ansah finished coolly at the near post in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n
The second half was a totally different affair as the Maidens absolutely outplayed their Fresh opponents, creating chance after chance.<\/p>\n
A defensive mix up between Hawa Cissoko and keeper Mylene Chavas allowed Jane Ayieyam to sneak in and give Ghana the lead on 65 minutes.<\/p>\n
Ghana had a chance to put the game to bed, after Pauline Dhaeyer fouled Princella Adubea in the penalty area in the 80th minute, but the resulting penalty kick from Samira Abdul-Rahman was saved by Mylene Chavas.<\/p>\n
France then made Ghana pay for the missed penalty, when a beautiful cross by Delphine Cascarino was nodded home by Clara Mateo in the last kick of the game. The maidens will now have to beat tournament favorites USA to have a chance of qualifying.<\/p>\n
